Study

This experiential course applies business law concepts and theory to the practice of corporate law.  Through a series of simulations, students will encounter real-world scenarios and use practical lawyering skills as they learn to negotiate, draft and design the different deal documents in complex mergers and acquisitions and leveraged buyouts; negotiate and draft Private Equity fund formation documents; and simulate real-life cases of shareholder activism and other corporate governance issues. Student will be expected to submit several short written assignments as well as participate in a larger final project. The course is designed to be accessible to students without a business background.
